The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread

Pelicans trading Buddy... smh

That Steph Curry kid is good

Cavs letting Joe Harris go smh.

The Aaron Gordon - Zach Lavine slam dunk contest might be the only good one of all time

J Cole almost dunked better than John Collins

DSJ is the biggest choker in Slam Dunk history

His 1st attempt in final made me jumped off my seat, i thought he had it. Would have won if he did. Anyway Diallo deserves to be champion, they gave us a good show. My favorite dunk is the one over Shaquille O'Neal.

Overall it was a fun evening. The agility contest was a bit boring, i realized it soon enough, they should make it just precision passing with more targets. Or even play 3v3 half court instead of that.

Man thought Steph was gonna go wild and post a 35 or something after that start.

They say corner threes are the easiest, but in my personal experience I suck at corner threes so bad, don't know why. I think it's because I don't know how to angle up my body when I don't see a backboard behind the basket.

My favourite position for threes is the diagonal left wing which makes sense since I'm a righty, and then second, top of the key. I am way to erratic on the right wing.

Don't know if it's a legit thing, but I think for every position around the three point line, your body naturally tries to line itself up differently - the only constant should be form of course. But then again I find that I should not put too much into my follow through - kinda shoot like Buddy Hield - when I shoot from the top of the key.

Shooting really is an art form with so many aspects to it.

I always used to aim at the little square and hope it falls down in the basket, it's a crap technique, nobody ever cared to point it out Can't wait for summer to practice the "swish" technique and see if i improve. My shooting is like Fournier on a bad night, but every time. Never won a game of 21 in my life.

Being a bit taller than average yet still fast and agile, i'm just good at defending. Mostly interceptions and rebounds, sometimes a block. I'm also able to dunk, it helps that the street baskets here are about 8 ft tall (maybe higher i never measured)

Btw what you guys think is the most spectacular aspect of basket ball ? Me it's blocks

Nah lol, that and the first LaVine one is the only good one since it was good though.

Would be wild to post a 35 when 34 is the max

dunks and a buzzer beater three to win the game

Great passes.

Crossovers or ankle breaking in general.

- Genuinely impressive drives that lead to a lay-up or dunk.
- Great passing > great shooting.
- Beautiful fade-aways (think Jordan).

A good hook shot is also pleasant to see, but not even the big men take those much.

^which is why the 3 needs to go.
Its not a hard enough shot to merit an extra point and it takes away from the enjoyment

Watch basketball before the three point line.

Barely watchable.

The thing ruining the enjoyment the most is the absurd amount of FTs and commercial breaks and timeouts.

That's why Kobe shouldn't pass tbh.

Imagine thinking Tim Duncan was better

When did players stop caring about the all star game?

It was pretty incredible last year iirc.

Team LeBron is just so much better on paper. It’s ridiculous.

Of course this means team Giannis will win by 30

That is by far the best national anthem I’ve heard aside from Whitney Houston and Marvin Gaye’s.

They did. I remember some ridiculous all out defense by Westbrook, LeBron and Paul George to win. It was a great fourth quarter.

The new format was a success.
